No, Saint Peter was always considered as the leader of the Church, no matter where he was at the time. He eventually ended up in Rome and was considered the Bishop of Rome as well as the leader of the Church. Eventually the title of pope was conferred on his successors.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ is the true head of their church and that all teaching comes from Him.The head of the entire worldwide church on earth is the President, who is considered a Prophet, Seer, and Revelator. The President of the Church is most often called "the Prophet". He is assisted by two counselors and Twelve Apostles.The person at the head of a congregation is the Bishop. However, most congregational teaching and preaching is not done by the Bishop, rather the members of the congregation rotate teaching and preaching responsibilities. A Mormon Bishop is more of an overseer of the congregation's operations and a personal counselor for individual members who need spiritual guidance, rather than a preacher.
